Separate Utensils

You can use only microwave-safe utensils in a microwave oven. A dish that is not microwave-safe can make the food unsafe to eat.

Lack of Versatility

The anime movie features a young boy who finds a new family with a mighty Japanese god searching for some disciples.

Limited Capacity

You can cook food only up to a limited capacity. Thus, it is not the best option for large families.

Impacts Immunity

Some studies suggest that food prepared or reheated using a microwave oven contains agents that can weaken the immune system.

Causes Dehydration

A microwave cooks food with water molecules and reduces half the water content, resulting in dry food. Thus, it can cause dehydration.

Harmful Radiation

A microwave oven emits harmful radiation. Moreover, the plastic used in microwave cooking emits Bisphenol, a toxic chemical.

Changes Food Texture

Although the microwave retains the nutrients, it changes the texture, colour, and taste of the food.
